In our modern society, we have to rely on different kinds of services. 1________.Without packaging, many goods, especially food, could not reach consumers.

Have you ever lost your temper? Did you yell or scream at those around you, even people you like or love? Did you want to break something or hit someone?
Everyone gets angry. We have lots of emotions. At different times, we may be happy, sad or jealous. .
It’s perfectly okay to be angry at time(偶尔)--- in fact, it’s important to get angry sometimes. Anger can even be a good thing. When we are treated unfairly, anger can help us stand up for ourselves.
_____ some people keep their anger buried deep inside. If you do this, you might get a headache or your stomach might start to hurt. You may just feel crummy (糟糕的) about yourself or start to cry. It’s not good to hide your anger, so you should find a way to let it out without hurting yourself or others.
When you start to feel angry, you can count to 10, draw a picture of anger, play a video game, run as fast as you can or do something active. An effective way is to talk to a friend you can trust. .
Instead, admit to yourself that you are angry and try to figure out why you are angry and what you can do to keep the situation from happening again.
Never getting angry is impossible. But, you should always remember that how you act when you’re angry can make the situation better or worse.Take charge of it!

B. Taking it out on others never solves anything. |
C. Anger is just another way we feel. |

E. But anger must be released in the right way.

_______ One of the best things you can possibly do is to start you own club. It’s great fun especially if you are the sort of person who feels there’s never anything to do during the school holidays.
The first thing you need to come up with is an idea for your club._________ Pets, clothes, pop music or dancing groups, sports, making things? The list is endless.
Next you need some friends to be in your club with you. _________ All you need is three or four other people who are interested in the same thing as you.
________You should all sit down somewhere together with lots of pieces of paper and write down every name you can think up. That’ll keep you busy for ages.
At your first meeting you should make up a rule book. And the first rule should be no grown-ups or little/big brothers or sisters! The best clubs are always secret!
Now you have just about everything you need, except membership cards. These are very important and again you can speed a lot of time making them. _________ Why not leave some space for a photo of yourself? That will make the membership card really look like it.

What is your favourite colour? Do you like yellow, orange, red?. Do you prefer greys and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be pessimist(悲观者). At least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of colour preference, as well as the effect that colours have on human beings.
.If you happen to love brown, you did so, as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.
. A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day.
.A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides(自杀) than any other bridge in the area---until it was repainted green. The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply. Perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.

C.The rooms are painted in different colours as you like. |
D.If you do, you must be an optimist, a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement. |
E. Light and bright colours make people not only happier but more active.
F. Life is like a picture or a poem, full of different colours.

It makes no difference what you read or study if you can't remember it. You just waste your valuable time.One dependable aid that does help you remember what you study is to have a specific purpose or reason for reading.
Why does a clerk in a store go away when your reply to her offer to help is, “No, thank you.I'm just looking.”? Both you and she know that if you aren't sure what you want, you are not likely to find it.But suppose you say instead, “Yes, thank you.I want a pair of sun glasses.” She says, “Right this way, please”If you choose a book, “just looking” for nothing in particular, you are likely to get just that--nothing.But if you do know what you want, you are almost sure to get it.Your reasons will vary; they will include reading or studying “to find out more about”, “to understand the reasons for” and “to find out how”.
Before you start to study, you say to yourself something like this, “I want to know why Stephen Vincent Benet happened to write about America”.Because you know why you are reading or studying, you relate the information to your purpose and remember it better.
At least two important processes go on at the same time.As you read, you take in ideas rapidly and accurately. But at the same time you express your own ideas to
yourself as you react to what you read. You have a kind of mental conversation with the author.
This additional process of thinking about what you read includes evaluating it, relating it to what you already know, and using it for your own purposes.One part of critical reading, as you have discovered, is distinguishing between facts and opinions.Facts can be checked by evidence, opinions are one’s own personalreactions.Another part of critical reading is judging sources.Still another part is drawing accurate inferences.
A.Maybe you have already discovered some clever ways to keep yourself from forgetting. |
B.It is important for students to have a positive attitude to their study. |
C.You remember better when you know what you' re reading. |
D.In other words, a good reader is a critical reader. |
E. It’s quite the same with your studying.
F. Reading is not one single activity.
G. This is the way it works.
The Meanings of Dreams
Sleep and dreams have interested people for centuries. Scientists are learning more about sleep, but they still know very little about why we dream. First, we have most of our dreams during REM (rapid eye movement) sleep. At this time, the brain is very active. Second, everyone dreams – even if we cannot remember doing so when we awaken.
While we are asleep, it works more slowly and sometimes puts our thoughts and memories together in strange ways.
Some believe that our dreams are associated with thoughts and feelings that we experience while we are awake. Many dream researchers think that a dream about death, for example, is really about an important life change.
Dreams about a car or travel often represent feelings about your own life. Dreams about teeth – especially broken or loose ones may indicate stress and fear. Dreams in which you are flying often represent freedom or escape.
Researchers think people in our dreams can tell us something about ourselves. If the person in the dream was yelling (叫喊), for example, maybe you are angry.
There is still a lot about dreaming that we do not understand. By learning more about our dreams, we may learn more about ourselves.
A.Dreams may be more important than sleep. |
B.Scientists do not know for certain why we dream. |
C.If he or she was terrified, then maybe you are afraid of something. |
D.Modern research can tell us some important things about dreams. |
E. There are three things you should pay attention to to have a sweet dream.
F. Finally, a part of our brain helps us to understand daily experiences we have.
G. Dreams about telephones are thought to be about giving or receiving an important message.
